(Eroded Clay)

Description: Deep, well drained to somewhat poorly drained, eroded soilswith clayey or thin loamy surfaces and clayey subsoils.

Limitations: Stand establishment on these soils is very difficult due toclayey or thin surfaces. Low organic matter will limitfertility and plant production (causing difficult managementdecisions).

Soil s : Dennis silty clay loam. erodedIrwin silty clay loam. erodedladysmith silty clay loam. erodedMartin silty clay loam. erodedMayberry clay loam. erodedTully silty clay loam. eroded
